BT Sports Channel (Part 2)

Comments

From a logistic point of view, BT can only film UK domestic UCL / UEL games in UHD, sometimes [they show] the semi's but always [show] the final.

Those words in square brackets completely change the post.

What part of the first part did you not understand? From a logistic point of view, BT can only film UK domestic UCL / UEL games in UHD,

Stop being deliberately difficult. If you’d worded the original post properly in the first place, then nobody would have anything to pull you up on. Fact is, your post made it sound like BT are responsible for filming the final when they won’t be, unless the game is in the UK.

Even though I've since clarified the matter with the poster that asked (Mark), for which I've apologised for not being clearer, couldn't resist eh? If thats not trolling then I don't know what is.

If you look at the timing of mogzyboy's post, you would have noticed that it was one minute after your mea culpa post. I would hazard a guess that he started typing it before your post came online.

This announcement today is bad news for Sky Q customers as by May BT sport UHD will be available on BT TV, Apple TV,Virgin Media,X Box,Playstation and Samsung & LG TVs so it will mean that Sky will be the only main platform without the UHD channel.

They are going to need some good bundle prices to get customers to subscribe and watch through Sky

If you have a compatible device and you wish to access the BT Sport app then you will do so. Has no bearing on being a Sky Q customer or not.

If anyone watched the Barcelona v Real Madrid match last night the 360 replays were pretty impressive. Now it’s been announced they’ll be coming to BT and Sky in March for games at Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal agree Intel partnership to bring 360-degree replays to Premier League

Playstations, LG TV's and UHD HDR are yet to be announced so no doubt theres still some tweaking to be done.

But Sky Q shows far more EPL and cricket in UHD. I dont really care to watch Conference football in UHD!

There was no mention of PlayStation or LG TV support on BT's website, nor was any May date mentioned as the launch date of the UHD channel. Can you provide a source for that info please?

Mo.dilwar- I know two people who work for BT that are testing the apps, The Playstation one would have been launched this week if Sony had been more helpful as to test on PSN you need to have test invites which can only be issued by Sony. They gave BT an handful but are now being difficult on releasing more so that BT can do more widescale testing.

lamby- Its interesting that you mention about Sky showing far more UHD content that is incorrect Sky show on a good week 3 football matches in UHD where as BT have shown 11 or 12 matches in a week featuring FA Cup,Conference League,Ligue 1 in France ,Champions League and Europa league.

It is also the depth of sport in UHD on BT with this week being a prime example a new season of Premier League darts HD only,Superleague HD only. BT on the other hand showing lots of live UHD tennis, The variety of UHD sport on BT is excellent Football,Rugby,Tennis,Cricket,Speedway,Rowing,Darts with more motorsport coming soon.

That's not what he said though is it? Where in the post was it stated that Sky show far more UHD content?

All platforms are constantly striving to push their platforms forward, yet if a new user were to come on here, all they would be met with is snipes from what are literally massive advancements in hybrid broadcast technology. But on here the snipes will follow!

Why is there not a minimum standard for Smart TV Apps that all tv manufacturers adhere to so Apps can launch on them all simultaneously ???

Likewise for Consoles like Xbox One/S/X or PS3/4

They have a Windows 10 App so the Xbox isn’t a big leap from this.

This doesn’t seem to make sense with so many devices needing a different code, some type of system where 1 app is built then converted to be useable on all the major systems would be ideal.

I wonder if Netflix have a way of updating all app types in 1 hit.

I have a PS3 & Sony Android TV.
So this news doesn’t help at all on a personal level
although it does give confidence that they are going to roll apps out gradually to more devices,
if only Sky Q/Sky Go would do this too !!!!!
